[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA WebUI Logout logs back in

[Christopher Lamb]

HI Simo, Dmitiri, Rob and co.

Simos "log in with a different user" suggestion is pretty much what I was
intending. I want to be able to log out of the web ui, then log back in
with a different user. e.g. to allow a newly added user to change their
password to something secret.

On this particular workstation I have no kerberos ticket (double checking
with klist at the terminal confirms this). I have not saved the password in
Firefox (checking in the settings confirms this).

I often have ssh sessons open via terminal to the FreeIPA Server, and even
Apache Directory Studio open to browse the LDAP structure and content. I
don't see how that can play a role, but I mention it for completeness.

thanks

Chris

I've seen this in the past on my own IPA domain at home.
Perhaps what we should do is to have a logout option that says "log in
with a different user" and redirect to anon kerberized page that allows
you to do form based login.

This would address the case where a domain user wants to log in as admin
w/o exiting their user session or destroying there ccache (as that may
imply loosing access to email, other company websites, etc...).

Simo.
